James didn't look impressed..

This Morning viewers were left baffled by Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield today.

Chef James Martin appeared on Monday’s show to make chocolate and hazelnut choux buns.

However, viewers criticised Holly and Phil’s “rude” behaviour during the segment while some predicted TV duo Ant and Dec were behind their antics.

Some thought Ant and Dec were telling the pair what to say for a Saturday Night Takeaway segment.

As James added nibbed almonds to his dessert, Holly said: “Can you choose any other sort of nut? Don’t tell me what to do, if I want to put something else on top of it I think I should be allowed.”

Looking baffled, James said: “Hazelnuts, you can put chocolate bits if you want.”

As they tucked into their desserts, Phil said: “It tastes better than it looks actually!”
